Bangalore Veg Food Joints

I have been in Bangalore for almost 3+ years and have been to many restaurants and hotels thanks to different Social Media events, but when it comes to pure food I have liked very few and as I am pure veggie, options gets reduced by big margin. So here are some of my regular visit places for Veg Food in Bangalore.  

Mast Kalandar : Mast Kalandar is chain of North Indian Veg restaurants in Bangalore and in some other cities. It offers only Veg North Indian food and snacks. It ranges from Punjabi Foods like Pindi Chole- bature to foods from other Northern parts of India, Must try are Curry like Kadhai Paneer , Naan and Different type of Parathas.In beverage you will find Lassi and Masala Chaach (probably best in Bangalore) and Juice items. In Snacks you can try nice variety of Chaat items.  

Grameen : Grameen is located in Raheja Arcade near Forum Mall in Koramangala. Grameen is a Hindi word and it means Villager. The ambience when you sit here is exactly like you get to feel in your villages. Again it's Veg restaurant and North Indian food here is really nice. The way they serve food , utensils they use and decoration inside restaurant is just so peaceful and I am sure you are not going to miss your village once you go inside . You can try with a special Thali first if you are not sure about what to eat.

Ghar Ka Khana :  Ghar ka Khana is one of my favorite as it is one of the cheapest Veg food hub for North Indians. It has 2 branches in Bangalore. The food here totally justifies the name and that is why even without advertisement they are doing pretty good. Here you will find Basic North Indian food that you get in your homes and probably with same flavor. The Chapati, the Daal, The Curry all tastes likes made in home. They have unique Buffet options at as less as 100 Rs. They also provide different Parathas. If you want to eat simple and yet Tasty food at a reasonable price, try it once for sure. 

PS : I havn't been paid to mention any of these :)
